Hello Following on from my adventures putting right the results of neglect and bodgery my 230ce was subject to by previous keepers or their trusted repaires, I though I might share in case someone else facing similar head scratching may find a solution: 1) Erratic idle and stalling: My car...

Hi, I just bought this car. I found when the engine is fully heated up, the idling speed is high at around 1200 rev/min. And falls gradually to around 900 rev/min if I idle the car for 1-2min. If I switch the air-con on, the idling speed will fall to 800 rev/min, but turn it off will send the...

Help, I have a 1995 w124 e220 estate, my engine revs at idle, go up and down in a regular rhythm between 500 - 800rpm, in neutral, and almost stalls in reverse or drive, I have changed the lambda sensor, and the MAF Sensor, I have put in a new (second hand) throttle body to no avail, it seems...

Hi, i'm a noob to mbclub, a great site for MB fans. i bought an e280 w124 1994 auto estate recently, it went well until i left it over a weekend and now it will start, and run (doesn't sound lumpy or bad) but it won't tick over in idle. i've tried keeping it revved slightly until its warmed up...

Hi Not that i do this particually often, mainly due to the price of fuel!, I am interested to know what the result could be of someone reporting a smoking or iding vehicle: http://www.westlothian.gov.uk/law-licensing/1101/47 I heard an advert on the local radio station saying that you...

I took my Dad's 1997 W210 E230 for a spin the other day - far more cusioned expirence than my Sport model. I noticed a couple of times at the lights the rev's went down below 1000rpm to around 500rpm. and somtimes the engine sounded like its spluttering. It has 120k on the clock and had a...

Hi all In the last couple of days I have noticed a slight 'rattle' coming from the engine when the car is warmed up and idling. The rattle dissapears as soon as i put any revs on it. I'm going to get it checked out at my local indie but in the meantime - any ideas? Cheers Andy

While sitting in traffic the smell of oil inside the car is readily apparent. Lifted the bonnet and found some oil residue around the filler cap, looked like a small overfill from sometime ago, certainly not fresh oil. Used an engine degreaser to clean it up. Following day the smell of the...

After my 1990 300TE-24 has been driven for a while (i.e warmed up) if I put it into reverse and go on to anything near full lock it stalls. The idling seems to be erratic at the time, dropping to 500rpm or there abouts. I can manage if I left foot brake and keep my right foot on the gas. This...

Car is 1997 CLK200 auto 137k miles After being left unsused for few months, I got the battery recharged and ready for the MOT. Initially it idles normally at around 800-900rpm, but as time goes by (and presumably engine temp rises) this becomes steady at around 2000rpm. As this is left...

Hi, When I start my e220cdi in the morning (or after some time after turning the engine off, say 1 hour or so), 8 out of 10 times the car idles erratically, jumping from 500-800 rmp, causing the entire car to shake. :crazy: It almost seems one of the cylinders isn't working properly. The problem...

recently my car has developed a few problems, firstly the idling has become lumpy, especially when sitting in traffic for a long time, also from cold the car does not start straight away at the turn of the key. also once warmed up when i start the car, the car starts up straight away but then...

Me again! I've just thought of something else: My 1988 190E has a wobbly idle. When stationary and in D, the car vibrates. It does the same when the steering is on full lock, as if the idle stabilization thingy isn't working as it should. I can find no reference to one of these in the Haynes...

Just thought I'd ask for ideas before I take the car to the dealer? Its booked in tomorrow, but just wanted a heads up.... My E240 has started idling erratically over the last week or so. Its especially noticeable when the car is in D and you are at a standstill. If you take your foot off the...

I'm having problems with my V12. The problem is when the car is running at optimum temperature and is put into park and neutral then the revs rise to 1500 revs and dop to 1000 revs and continue going up and down. While driving or when the car is cold there are no problems at all. Well sounded...
